What it all has meant. . . . .
An American Dream Come True. A black American dream come true. An American dream come true for a people's music's place in the mainstream of America.
A loan of $800 to one Berry Gordy, Jr. from a family-circle group called Ber-Berry Co-op, so he, an ex-prizefighter, could bring substance to a dream of his own: a recording company called Motown Records, from which would flow not necessarily an ideology of music, but an identity of music.
That it, a music basically born of the black ghettos, but readily identifiable to all lovers of pop music. Tuneful music, Danceable music. Music, in short, long integrated into American pop. The difference is that Berry Gordy, Jr.'s Motown Records was to give the child of the ghetto a chance to express it on his own terms.
In the decade of it's existence, Motown Records might be regarded as having blossomed on the wings of the black man's often successful struggle for equality. In truth, it has been the very exposure and acceptance of its sound - the vaunted Motown Sound - that has played a role in the black man's achievements.
